SKIDDOO WS6Z92ED McHenry Shamrocks Beat Chicago Pirates 8-5 The Shamrocks evened their record at 12-12 in what started out as a rather poorly played game. McHenry gave the Pi­ rates most of their 5 runs which they got in the first 4 innings but then settled down in the last 5 innings. It was also their second straight come from behind vic­ tory'. * Tom Janik again looked good as he pitched the last 5 2/3 innings to gain his second vic­ tory in two decisions. Steve Spencer and Tim Farr each hit homeruns in the de­ cisive seventh inning. Spenc­ ers was a two run blow to dead center.

More than 50,000 in-ground residential pools " have been sold in each of the past three years. And, according to the American Gas Association, Inc. (A.G.A.), the big splash is like­ ly to continue now that nor­ mal swimming seasons can be doubled with effective pool heating systems. pool equipment also adds a new dimension to the economics of owning a "backyard beach." Longer swim seasons are drastically reducing the aver­ age monthly costs for owning and maintaining a pool, mak­ ing the investment more real­ istic for outdoor enthusiasts. A.G.A. reports that the cost of a gas pool heating system rep­ resents only about 10% of the total pool installation cost.

Plumbing And Heating Contractors Plan Golf Outing Putts and pipes, divots and drains will share the conver­ sation spotlight at the annual golf outing of the Plumbing and Heating Contractors assoc­ iation of Lake and McHenry Counties, Thursday, Aug. 28 at McHenry Country Club. More than |jg0 members and guests are expected to attend the outing, according to James Al- thoff, of McHenry, and Jim Di- Pietro, of Deerfield, co-chair- men of the Golf committee. Included among the guests will be area legislators, sup­ pliers, representatives of the Illinois Department of Health and the Illinois Department of Registration and Education, and representatives of state and na­ tional associations. Trophies will be awarded for top scorers among the mem­ bers and the guests. Following dinner and the a- warding of prizes there will be dancing. Pick Your Spot With Care When Going Camping Stop traveling early enough to enjoy the surroundings and also so you will have enough light to see where you're set­ ting up camp. Pick high ground whenever possible. Stay out of gulleys and valleys. Look out for tall trees with leafless and dead limbs. Stay clear of tall grass and heavy brush. These can be fire hazards during a dry season and a breeding ground for in­ sects during a wet season. Winds will usually blow off a lake and travel up toward higher ground during the day­ time. At night winds move to­ ward the water. This may be helpful in calculating your best campfire or cooking ar­ rangement. In cool weather it is best to locate your camper, if possi­ ble, to catch the last rays of the warming sun in the eve­ ning. By closing all the flaps you, in effect, trap the heat in­ side for a more comfortable night. SALT A cubic foot of fresh water weighs about 62 pounds, and of salt water about 64 pounds. This* difference is enough, however, so that a cubic yard of ocean water contains about 47 pounds of salt. Recreational Vehicle Variety Offers Wide Choice of Models The wide variety of recrea­ tional vehicles now available ranges from the "go anywhere" compacts through heavy duty station wagons, to long bodied pickups designed to carry camper bodies. Take those built by Interna­ tional, as an example: six dif­ ferent Scout Compacts; five Travelall station wagons; six Campermobile models and some two dozen pickups. Choosing from among this many possibilities can become confusing. This makes it es­ sential for a prospective owner to decide how he will use his new recreation vehicle before selecting a particular model. For off-highway travel in twisting terrain, a 100-in. wheelbase all-wheel drive Scout is a logical choice. In rugged country, short wheel- base models can move the eas­ iest. Suppose, however, that you're planning to tote a fam­ ily of nine and you need a vehicle that can carry every­ one and pull a travel trailer. Here, a roomy, nine-passenger Travelall station wagon would be ideal. Maybe you're an outdoors- man-camper who doesn't rel­ ish pitching a tent. If so, an International Campermobile-- a specially-equipped model de­ signed to accommodate either a camper insert unit or a chas­ sis-mounted body -- may be your answer. Need more room up front? The long-bodied six-passenger four-door Travelette with a six or eight-ft. pickup box al­ lows an entire family to ride in the cab with the driver while a camper insert is car- Held Over!

Wonder Lake Yacht Club Sailboat Races The following results of the Wonder Lake Yacht Club sail­ boat races are reported by Charlie Terrell: George George son Memorial Cup was won by Marvin Mac- Kay and crew in W3 Sunday, August 17. Ronnie Bjurstrom, in W8, came in second and Gary Peterson, in W15, was third. A light variable wind played tricks on the sailors. One boat, W4, George Tinsley and son, capsized at the last mark, mak­ ing a gyre with an unexpected gust of wind. Penatlties caused W5 and W10 to retire. Saturday's August 16, race was run in good order with three new judges on the Race Committee boat. Elaine Mac- Kay, Jane Coumbe and Renee Rogers acted as judges with supervision from Ray Rogers. Wally and Delores Peterson as­ sisted at the marks. First Place went to John Wright in W5, second to Don Coumbe in W9, third place to Robert Bird in W18, fourth Gary Peterson W15, fifth David Seaholm in W13. Carefree Trailering Carefree trailering isn't a question of luck. It's a com­ bination of good old fashioned common sense, a little preven­ tive maintenance and safe driving habits. You know from experience that anything you neglect will deteriorate. The tires of your trailer are no exception. Trailer tires are designed and tested by the tire manu­ facturer to assure safe oper­ ation at all legal highway speeds. These tires require fairly high inflation pressures for maximum reliability and minimum wear. Trust the manufacturer and follow these recommendations: 1) Buy a good tirr pressure gauge and uw it. (You can't tell just by looking.) 2) Check air pressure when they are cool. 3) Never bleed pressure from tires when they are hot. 4) Always check tire pressure before starting on a trip. (Don't forget the spare.) 5) Inspect your tires regular­ ly for cuts and bruises. f») When not using your trailer for an extended period; remove the tires, reduce the pressure approx. 50% and store in cool, dark place. 7) Follow tire manufacturers inflation instructions. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Oat @GR AYS LAKE OUTDOOR i t s . 1 2 0 & 2 1 , G r a y i i a k c K I D D Y L A N D B A 3 - 8 1 5 5 ENDS THUR.

Labor Campus Teaais Club Plaas Day Meet At West Shamrock Ball Team Wins 4-1 Over Rockford Hawks The Shamrocks beat Rock- ford for the first time this year, playing one of their best games in the field. Tom Janik pitched an excel­ lent ball game giving up the run in the second on two hits. Tom did not allow a hit after the first batter singled in the fourth. He struck out 5 and walked 3. Bob Watson was the big gun for the Shamrocks, scoring the first run (after a lead off single) and driving the only other run Janik needed in the fifth wih a single. This win left the Shamrocks season record at 11-12, show­ ing how this club has bounced back after being 2-8 early in the year.
